The Church's Safety
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #137 (1844) Meter: 8.8.6 Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: How happy is the little flock Lyrics: 1 How happy is the little flock,
Who, safe beneath their guardian Rock,
In all commotions rest!
When war and tumult’s waves run high,
Unmoved above the storm they lie;
They lodge in Jesus’ breast.
2 Whatever ills the world befall,
A pledge of endless love we call,
A sign of Jesus near!
His chariot will not long delay;
We hear the rumbling wheels, and pray,
Triumphant Lord, appear!
3 Appear, and thy own flock protect,
Avenge thy own despised elect,
And make thy glory known.
Gird on thy sword, thou King of kings,
And smite through all inferior things
That dare usurp thy throne. Languages: English

Safety in God
Author: Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #140 (1844) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: When overwhelm'd with grief Lyrics: 1 When, overwhelmed with grief,
My heart within me dies,
Helpless and far from all relief,
To heaven I lift my eyes.

That’s high above my head.
And make the covert of thy wings
My shelter and my shade!
3 Within thy presence, Lord,
For ever I’d abide;
Thou art the Tower of my defence,
The Refuge where I hide.
4 Thou givest me the lot
Of those that fear thy name;
If endless life be their reward,
I shall possess the same. Languages: English
Safety in God
All in debt, or in distress
Author: Berridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #147 (1844) Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ Lyrics: 1 All in debt, or in distress,
Discontented more or less,
All who would protection have,
Post away to David’s cave.
2 All who find their sinful debt
Deep and deeper growing yet;
All who have been Satan’s tool –
Much his madman or his fool;
3 All who discontented are,
Full of guilt and full of fear;
Every soul who would not die,
Unto Jesus’ cave must fly.
4 [Jesus all your debts will pay;
Chase your legal duns away;
Every foe he will subdue –
World, and flesh, and devil too.]
5 Haste, and seek the Saviour’s face;
Rise, and bless him for his grace;
To his scornèd cave repair;
He will wash and feast you there. Scripture: 1 Samuel 22:2 Languages: English
All in debt, or in distress
One there is, above all others
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #165 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Names and Characters of Christ Friend Lyrics: 1 One there is, above all others,
Well deserves the name of Friend;
His is love, beyond a brother's,
Costly, free, and knows no end.
2 Which of all our friends to save us,
Could or would have shed his blood?
But this Saviour died to have us
Reconcil'd in him to God.
3 When he liv'd on earth abased,
Friend of sinners was his name;
Now, above all glory raised,
He rejoices in the same.
4 Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!
Teach us, Lord, at length to love;
We alas! forget too often,
What a Friend we have above.
Scripture: Proverbs 18:24
One there is, above all others
Poor, weak, and worthless, though I am
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #166 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Names and Characters of Christ Friend Lyrics: 1 Poor, weak and worthless, though I am,
I have a rich almighty friend;
Jesus, the Saviour, is his name,
He freely loves, and without end.
2 He ransom'd me from hell with blood;
And, by his power, my foes controll'd:
He found me wandering far from God,
And brought me to His chosen fold.
3 But, ah! my inmost spirit mourns;
And well my eyes with tears may swim,
To think of my perverse returns:--
I’ve been a faithless friend to him.
4 Often my gracious friend I grieve,
Neglect, distrust, and disobey;
And often Satan’s lies believe
Sooner than all my friend can say.
5 Sure, were I not most vile and base,
I could not thus my friend requite!
And were not He the God of grace,
He’d frown and spurn me from his sight.
Poor, weak, and worthless, though I am
Deep are the wounds which sin has made
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #168 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Names and Characters of Christ Physician Lyrics: 1 Deep are the wounds which sin hath made;
Where shall the sinner find a cure?
In vain, alas! in nature's aid;
The work exceeds all nature's power.
2 Sin, like a raging fever, reigns
With fatal strength in every part;
The dire contagion fills the veins,
And spreads its poison to the heart.
3 And can no sovereign balm be found?
And is no kind Physician nigh,
To ease the pain and heal the wound,
Ere life and hope forever fly?
4 There is a great Physician near;
Look up. O fainting soul, and live:
See, in his heavenly smiles appear
Such ease as nature cannot give!
5 See, in the Saviour's dying blood,
Life, health, and bliss. abundant flow;
'Tis only this dear sacred flood
Can ease thy pain and heal thy wo.
Scripture: Jeremiah 8:22
Deep are the wounds which sin has made
How lost was my condition
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #169 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Names and Characters of Christ Physician Lyrics: 1 How lost was my condition,
Till JESUS made me whole!
There is but one physician,
Can cure a sin-sick soul!--
The worst of all diseases
Is light compar'd with sin;
On ev'ry part it seizes,
But rages most within.
2 From men great skill professing,
I thought a cure to gain;
But this prov'd more distressing,
And added to my pain--
Some said that nothing ail'd me,
Some gave me up for lost,
Thus every refuge fail'd me,
And all my hopes were cross'd.
3 At length this great Physician--
How matchless is his grace!
Accepted my petition,
And undertook my case--
Next door to death he found me,
And snatch'd me from the grave;
To tell to all around me,
His wondrous power to save.
4 A dying, risen JESUS,
Seen by the eye of faith,
At once from danger frees us,
And saves the soul from death--
Come then to this Physician,
His help he'll freely give,
He makes no hard condition,
'Tis only--look--and live.
How lost was my condition

With laws of peace and grace,
Laws that bespeak his kindness still,
And human pride abase.
3 Let saints his sceptre own;
His righteous laws obey;
Acknowledge him the Lord alone,
And walk the heavenly way.
